If a unit is victorious in melee combat, it may gain an Honor Marker. Each unit on the winning side of a melee combat receives 1 Honor Marker if the enemy unit is completely destroyed or if it surrenders (by failing a Fortitude Test when Panicked—see Unit Morale).
A unit may never have more than 1 Honor Marker at a time. Any additional Honor Markers are lost.
If a unit has an Honor Marker, it receives the following bonuses:
• +1 Attack Value
• +2 Fortitude
If a unit with an Honor Marker fails a Fortitude Test, the Honor Marker is lost instead of the unit losing a Morale Level. Do not put a red marker on the Unit Flag.
